Cancer Cancer
May 8 ~ May 22 Repeat after me: The more I relax, the more I receive. Life does not respond to my effort it responds to my frequency. A choir of planets in Taurus are continuing to spill into your house that rules your nervous system. This, with the intention of grounding you and bringing you back into balance. It started with a compelling New Moon in Taurus on Tuesday eve in the west on May 7, one that was anchored by Saturn in fellow water sign Pisces. April was loaded, a Cancer friend of mine referred to it as a bit ‘helter-skelter’ – your astrologer would have to agree. It was a boatload of erratic energy for us sensitive Souls trying to live a peaceful existence. You were tested, and potentially hard. How did you fare my friend? Eclipse season is known for being a time for catalysts that accelerate our evolution, so whatever was surfacing unexpectedly and with persistence, was revealing a necessary growth curve. “Challenges are not meant to crush you but to help you develop your powers. They come through the natural law of progress, so that you might advance from lower to higher levels of spiritual attainment” (Yogananda). May promises to offer far more ease and (hopefully) calm, given that it just graced our skies with an abundant New Moon in compatible earth sign Taurus, while in ideal alignment to Saturn in fellow water sign Pisces. If there was an emotional river you could not cross, now you can, as Saturn builds a bridge that leads to your evolving higher self. Venus in Taurus continues this theme of building upon the foundation of what you have been optimally energizing, as she forms an angle of grace with Saturn in Pisces on Monday, May 13, helping you surrender into your own unique nature, one that effortlessly flows forth like a river following a path of least resistance. Mercury enters Taurus as well on Wednesday, May 15, urging you on once again to express yourself freely and without editing. A quadruple conjunction follows on Saturday, May, when Uranus, Venus, the Sun and Jupiter all join forces in Taurus, giving you the bold backing to unwind and liberate yourself with the power of your magnetic presence. You come to know firsthand that energy speaks far louder than words, and you can’t fake frequency. You can expect the old static that was hanging onto your signal to be free and clear. The next two weeks offers you a safe container to grow into your-self with welcomed clarity and expanding confidence. To know yourself is to love yourself.
Relax and receive!
